AUTHOR BIO:
Who am I, you ask? I am a woman who wears many hats. A mother of 3 wonderful boys is my first and for most priority, and from there it trickles down. I’m a wife, a cook, a house cleaner and a mommy to two dogs and a lazy loveable cat. Then there’s my ulternate life.. The writer  she is the kid who refuses to grow up. Stuck in a mind state of a teenager, who still has imaginary friends. The two halfs of me get along great!! As long as I let the writer out and listen to my imaginary friends tell me their story, then there’s no conflict. If I keep her caged up too long… Well… You know what they say, when you keep the beast caged up to long, it gets angry. 
The life of a writer is who your born to be, not a job you just take on. It’s who I am.

  1. Well, this one sounds really interesting, I don't usually go for Gods & Goddesses and Mythological themed books, They are one of my daughter Rachel's favourite genres. So theres two reasons I'd love to win this book, No1 for my daughter, she'd love to read this! No2 I'd like to give reading this one a go too. Aaand who doesn't love, love love signed books!!!
